Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution adopted. WRITE OFF OUTSTANDING DEBT The City Administrator explained that the City was approached by Danny Lincoln with The Lincoln Group in 2016 with a proposal for a housing development at 3000 Labore Road. He stated that Mr. Lincoln submitted a formal concept review planning application in January 2017 which was reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council on two separate occasions, but Mr. Lincoln opted to not move forward with his project in late March 2017. He explained that due to the complexities of the site, the review process required significant engineer and planning consultant time to provide feedback on the proposal. He stated the applicant paid an initial Concept Plan Review application deposit of $750.00 and was invoiced for the additional costs. After multiple attempts to collect the debt, the developer informed staff that he would not be paying since it could be assessed to the property owner. The City Administrator explained that one of the property owners had signed a Cost Agreement when the application was submitted, and was understandably upset that these fees were not paid by the developer. He stated that attempts were also made to collect this debt from the property owners, but they refused to pay since they had not been made aware of them as these fees were being incurred. He reported a total of $6,23 8.82 in outstanding developer fees were incurred from July 2016 to April 2017. He stated that in order to remove this outstanding debt from the books, staff is recommending that this uncollectable debt be written off. Fischer clarified that the former developer is no longer in business, and noted that attempts were made to recoup the expenses. Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTIONNO. 2022-4-60 —APPROVE WRITING OFF UNCOLLECTABLE DEBT FOR OUTSTANDING DEVELOPER FEES FROM JULY 2016 — APRIL 2017 IN THE AMOUNT OF $6,238.82 FROMPLANNING CASE #1348 The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Miller. 5
